For "basket ball reasons" they kept Chris Paul from the Lakers to build the clippers.

Now, the NBA's biggest cash cow - L.A. - is taking hits with both teams these days.

Some of these owners will be kicking themselves when the big revenue divy comes this year.

No, that "veto" was better for the value of the New Orleans franchise by not piling bad contracts on it. That resulted in a higher sales price and profit for the owners who collectively owned the franchise.

Do you even remember what the deal was? Basically, it was Luis Scola and a tall crackhead for Chris Paul.

No, they really won't. They'll make fistfuls of cash.

I dont think the Clippers are regretting it, and they seem to be doing just fine in attendance and popularity (outside of their owner).

Does it bother you that they covered up all of Kobe's banners in the staple's center?

Paul has nothing to do with this hit. If he was on the Lakers, theyd still suck and Sterling would still hate the black man.

Didn't Chris Paul say he wants the Clippers to hire a black coach?
